Tarnish on copper is the compound CuO. A tarnished copper plate is placed in an aluminum pan of boiling water. When enough salt

is added so that the solution conducts electricity, the tarnish disappears. Imagine that the two halves of this redox reaction were separated and connected with a wire and a salt bridge.
Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials:

Al3++3e-?Al; E?=?1.66 V

Answer:  2.00 V

Explanation:

The balanced redox reaction is:

2Al+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}+3Cu

Here Al undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials.

Al^{3+}+3e^-\rightarrow Al E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}=-1.66V

Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=0.340V

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}- E^0_{[Al^{3+}/Al]}

E^0=+0.34- (-1.66V)=2.00V

Thus the standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Which statements about reducing sugars are true? D‑Glucose (an aldose) is a reducing sugar. The oxidation of a reducing sugar fo
qaws [65]

Answer:

The true statements are given below.

Explanation:

1 D glucose is a reducing sugar

2 The oxidation of reducing sugar forms a carboxylic acid sugar.

D glucose is a reducing sugar because glucose contain a free hydroxyl group (-OH)in its anomeric carbon.

 The oxidation of reducing sugar result in the conversion of -CHO group in case of aldose sugar and -CH2OH group in case of ketose sugar into carboxylic acid(-COOH).

Which response includes all of the following processes that are accompanied by an increase in entropy?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

1 and 3.

Explanation:

The entropy measures the randomness of the system, as higher is it, as higher is the entropy. The randomness is associated with the movement and the arrangement of the molecules. Thus, if the molecules are moving faster and are more disorganized, the randomness is greater.

So, the entropy (S) of the phases increases by:

S solid < S liquid < S gases.

1. The substance is going from solid to gas, thus the entropy is increasing.

2. The substance is going from a disorganized way (the molecules of I are disorganized) to an organized way (the molecules join together to form I2), thus the entropy is decreasing.

3. The molecules go from an organized way (the atom are joined together) to a disorganized way, thus the entropy increases.

4. The ions are disorganized and react to form a more organized molecule, thus the entropy decreases.
